| Summary: | Diversity and excellence are synergized together in a collaborative explorative discussion panel into contemporary and forward-thinking archaeological methodologies and approaches to at risk arctic communities. Graduate students from the University of Montana have joined to share current research endeavors into the arctic climate and its results on communities and archaeological records, while producing revolutionary processes to aid archaeological understandings and processes globally. Presentations vary from statistical analysis and spatial organizations, establishing changes in wealth and cooperation of house pit 54 in Bridge River, BC; to an introduction of a universal theoretical research model to assist archaeologist globally in the study and understandings of landscapes of abandonment. Indigenous lifeways and methods for increased advocacy and awareness are drawn upon, while highlighting the strengths of the diverse future of archaeological findings from the University of Montana’s Department of Anthropology graduate scholars under Dr. Anna Prentiss.
